Chapter 13: Sect Mission
There is an old Chinese saying!
Gain a sesame seed and lose a watermelon.
It means teaching people not to be obsessed with the immediate small gains, and that one needs to broaden their horizons and take a panoramic view, lest they lose more precious things.
In Happy's view, the fine steel sword and gold on Rogue Li San are just a sesame seed, while Rogue Li San himself is a big watermelon!
Past life...
Actually, many newcomers later found out about this strategy, but when they had exhausted the bandits and thugs, for the sake of the fine steel sword, secret books and hundreds of silver coins, they almost didn't think twice before killing the bandits and getting their hands on these treasures.
But later, when looking for these thugs again, they would start hiding from a distance, or refuse to show their thug nature in front of them, just like an ordinary NPC, giving them no chance or reason to make a move.
Fought a fierce battle with the thug Li San, exhausting his energy. Now, just walking over and using the ninth-level Shaolin Long Fist to land a heavy blow would easily take care of Li San, obtaining the hundreds of silver coins and fine steel sword on him...
But fortunately, he didn't take action.
Pretending to be completely out of breath, he rested in place for a while, then looked at Li San who had also recovered some strength and was now glaring at him with a fierce expression. He resolutely turned around and quickly ran out of sight, returning to the city.
As long as Li San doesn't die, all the thugs and rascals in Jianghu won't get the news and won't be afraid of themselves. Who knows, next time they meet, they might still shout "I'll destroy you, old man!" while recklessly charging over.
This is what happiness needs!
Back in town, I happily checked my own status:
Player: Happy.
Strength 27, Constitution 18, Wisdom 26, Agility 21.
Shaolin Long Fist emphasizes internal energy, and the 3-point increase in arm strength is not unexpected; the improvement in body technique is also a result of fighting with wild wolves during this period, unfortunately, the progress is too small.
Moreover, my comprehension has finally improved!
Shaolin Long Fist has entered the ninth realm, faintly emitting a thunderous sound, and it can be said that the hard practice of these few days has not been in vain. Now I finally have a martial art that is worthy of being shown off.
Breathed a sigh of relief with a happy and relaxed heart, a faint smile floated on his face:
If I were to input the level of Shaolin Changquan now into the Nan Hua Jiang Hu ranking, I should be able to enter the top thirty or twenty.
It doesn't matter.
Starting from the 9th boundary, the subsequent progress will become increasingly difficult. From level 80 to the 10th boundary at level 90, the process is arduous and slow, like a turtle's pace, and it's no longer possible to rely on small tricks to quickly break through; while from level 90 to the perfect 11th boundary at level 99.99, one must carefully ponder and repeatedly temper themselves to reach the realm of a grandmaster.
These, currently none of them have a suitable partner...
Even if there is, because of its own low internal power, it comes with extremely high mortality risk, so, happily decided to put aside Shaolin Changquan for now and start studying another martial art.
Back at the Mu Rong estate, Kai Xin found the housekeeper in the front yard!
In the front yard, those young men and women who have been seen many times are still doing their own things, either chopping firewood, watering flowers, or practicing the simple mind method taught by the pipe master, without interfering with each other.
Noticing happiness approaching, the housekeeper changed into a gentle and pleasant expression, turning his face around:
"It turned out to be a joy, the young lady has already told me about your matter... Now that you are already a junior member of the Murong Manor, prepare yourself to contribute to the prosperity of the Murong Manor." His expression gradually became serious towards the end.
Everyone in the front yard looked at him with an incredulous expression.
They have been doing so until now, and for the time being, they are only temporarily hanging under the Murong Mansion, doing ordinary miscellaneous chores, and have not yet passed the test of the Murong Mansion to become true disciples of the Murong Mansion.
Seeing this newcomer who often comes and goes in the inner courtyard become a disciple before them, start to accept the mission of the Murong School, they suddenly became jealous and looked over.
Joyfully looking around with an air of indifference, he replied with a clenched fist:
Is there anything I can help you with?
"Uh-huh."
The housekeeper nodded in satisfaction.
"This is the situation! Recently, a rumor has been circulating in Suzhou that a group of tomb raiders from the north have arrived and many royal tombs have been opened, with all the buried treasures gone... The six-door patrol has dispatched many men to protect the royal and official tombs... I've been worried for days, if something happens to the Mu Rong family's tomb, as the steward of the Mu Rong family, I will be held responsible!"
After a pause, he finally turned to Kai Xing Wang:
"So I plan to send you to take a look, after nightfall, you'll be on guard there. If you discover any grave robbers, fire this signal and I'll bring people over immediately."
"Yes!"
As soon as the voice fell, Kai Xin immediately heard the system prompt:
Accept the quest 'Tracking the Tomb Raiders', level unknown, reward unknown.
Unknown task?
That is to say, this task may be simple, but it also has the possibility of increasing in difficulty as the plot develops, and it is a task with variables.
This kind of task is usually not easy to complete!
Hearing the system's prompt, he smiled silently and carefully took over the signal handed over by the butler, put it away, bid farewell to the butler without saying a word - at this time, the sky was already dark, and there was a distance from here to the cemetery outside the city, and the time was extremely urgent.
After leaving happily, a group of people in front of the courtyard finally broke the silence.
"How did he become a disciple of Murong Fu so quickly?"
"Exactly, I arrived several days before him."
"Depend on..."
"It's really unfair!"
There are several old-timers who are slightly mentally unbalanced.
"Unfair? Who knows, isn't that what the official website says? Many things in Jianghu rely on luck. I guess he's luckier than us... But aren't we too? Compared to those people outside, we who can enter the Gusou Murong Fu... Isn't that also a kind of luck? You can't not allow there to be people luckier than us, right?"
A young man who had never complained from start to finish smiled and opened his mouth.
From his cheerful appearance to his departure, he silently watered the flowers, and the only change in him was that the dedication and perseverance in his eyes became more intense!
"What's the use of luck!" The first player to speak up was unusually serious and let out a "humph": "Wait till the day I become a disciple of the Murong family, the first thing I'll do is chase him down! What kind of fate or not, let's see how long he can show off in front of me!"
“……”
Others also stopped complaining and gazed with sparkling eyes, becoming even more diligent in their cultivation.
……
The tomb of Murong's family is different from ordinary graves!
Every member of the Murong family, regardless of male or female, is a famous strong person in Jianghu. Born as a human hero, died... as a ghostly warrior! So even the tombs are connected to form a sword mound!
A gigantic sword stands upright on the tomb! Deep into the ground, and connected by thumb-thick steel chains, they are linked together, matching the exquisite and grand square stone tomb. The entire cemetery instantly turns into a battlefield with sword energy soaring into the sky!
However, under the moonlight, several ghostly figures broke this serene and solemn atmosphere!
